Since last season ended, Colangelo has been on a nice little streak. He drafted Ed Davis, unloaded Hedo Turkoglu and turned Jarrett Jack into Jerryd Bayless. Of course, that does not change some of the questionable moves that preceded those, or the signing of Linas Kleiza. Part of the future? Probably. It is hard to believe MLSE will have the resolve to get rid of somebody with Colangelo's experience and résumé, even if the last few years have been bleak.

JAY TRIANO

A few of his young players, Davis and DeRozan, showed growth through the season. The team, for the most part, played hard. There were signature wins. Alas, the team was once more abhorrent on the defensive end, and the Raptors are going to wind up with about as many wins as everybody predicted.

Part of the future? Probably. Triano deserves another shot with a team that has a realistic shot at winning.
